Abstract
AbstractMitoAMPK was proved to inhibit the Warburg effect, but the specific mechanisms on non‐small‐cell lung cancer remain unclear. Here, we selected SIRT6 and MZF1 to clarify the mechanism. By western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the CCK‐8 assay, and immunohistochemistry assays, we found SIRT6 expression was lower in NSCLC tissues and cell lines than normal tissues and cells. Moreover, SIRT6 could inhibit the Warburg effect by regulating glycolysis‐related genes of SLC2A2, SLC2A4 and PKM2. Finally, we demonstrated the interaction between SIRT6 and MZF1 using ChIP‐qPCR. In conclusion, mitoAMPK inhibits the Warburg effect by regulating the expression of the MZF1–SIRT6 complex.
